Tanzania

– The overall objective is to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable communities in the highlands of Tanzania to climate change through innovative and sustainable community initiatives.

(4) Lessons learned on innovative approaches tested are shared with other highland communities and help to enrich Tanzania’s climate change adaptation policy.
